Paint Primers

Model-Color is very highly pigmented, formulated for models and miniatures and ideal for decorating all miniatures. The colours brush on smoothly, and cover large surfaces easily and without showing brushstrokes. The paints can be diluted with water for air brushing. Model-Colour is presented in 17ml bottles with an eyedropper. This packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the container. It can be used in minimal quantities and keeps for a long time.

Priming your metal figure is essential before you start painting. Primer is like the glue that holds normal acrylic paint to the metal surface, otherwise the paint will flake. Shake the can for a few minutes. Stick multiple figures on a wooden board spaced evenly with a tiny drop of woodglue and carry it outside to allow proper ventilation. Spray from at least 10 inches away from the figure in broad strokes to avoid paint clotting on figure or running down the figure like tears. Turn the board 90% and spray figures from this new angle. Do this until you have sprayed from all angles. Allow primer to set, and the smell of aerosol to subside. Pop off the figures from the board and you can start painting them.
